Hi all, I am a serial voyeur and have been watching all the forums since I joined DSLRUsers a couple of weeks ago. I have now got the courage for my 1st review. I am pathetically new so any idea's would be good.

Welcome!

That's certainly an interesting plane! Very colourful indeed... Nicely exposed, but I dunno about the composition. For me, it really needs to be zoomed in further, or wider. This is sort of an in-between nothing shot for me, unfortunately. BTW is that a Freedom Air jet? The logo is familiar, as is the hideously bright yellow

Welcome

Well it's certainly a sharp image.

enjoy your stay

welcome to the forums.
certainly sharp

Steve

colours look flat to me compared to the vibrant shot you showed me today.
I reckon the colour profile is wrong

Sir Tristram, Welcome and glad you came out of the closet, Always good to see other people's work and join in with us all and that is a nice image i lik ethe colours bright etc.. Pluss i love Sylvesta and the Looney Tunes theme on that plane.
Cheers

Welcome Sir Tristram.

Cool capture - love the colour scheme. BTW - an ex Kiwi??? Sir Tristram and a Freedom Air plane Bet most of the Aussies here don't even know who Sir Tristram is.

Cheers
Judy

(yet another Kiwi in Oz)

You're right. The image is tagged as aRGB. Viewed properly (outside Firefox) all colours are more saturated (esp. the jet engine) and the sky a bit more blue, too.

Cheers
Steffen.

Steve's right, it is saved as a aRGB but I warned you all that I'm new....



For the record I am Aussie and my username happens to be made up of the street I grew up in ( Also a very famous NZ horse ) and I just happened to submit a photo of a NZ plane. Talk about 6 degree's.....

edit: image removed, correct image is now in original post.
I just put this one up one my website with the srgb profile.
when you get the photobucket issues sorted, I will take it down.

Steve

John:
I just tried to upload the image I sent you to photobucket and get 400 size also.

I did a test with a slightly smaller version and it appears to happen if the image is above 500k.
I will put a smaller version on my website asap and you should be able to use that one no worries.

Steve

Of course, with an image that's only 700 pix wide there's no reason to make it 500kB in size either - 100kB would be ample.

moz: the one that he was going to put up wasnt 700 wide.
the one on my website is 700wide because I set that keep forums happy.

John: I put the 800 wide one on your ftp server
should work for you now
Steve

Welcome Sir Tristram, love the colours in this shot,, what a plane,, well done


Suzanne

Thanks Steve, I have now swapped out the original for the sRGB version.

I didn't mention when I posted this photo that it was taken through a cyclone fence. I was told that if you open the aperture enough the wire in front of the lense just disappears. Would never have believed it until I took this series of photos. Just about white mans magic....

Welcome!

What a cool plane - makes me want to fly in it. Well captured with very rich colour - nice job.
